WHAT TO EXPECT THIS SUNDAY
This Sunday we will continue to have three ways to celebrate the Gospel. First, you can choose to attend our 9am service and wear your mask as you are coming into and out of the building and during our time of worship, or you can attend our 10:30am service where masks will be suggested and finally, we will continue to offer our online service at 10:30am via northwestbible.com/live, Facebook or YouTube. For children's ministry, you will need to make a reservation for their class and send all children into their classrooms with masks at the 9am service. You can make your reservation each week at northwestbible.com/children. We are looking forward to celebrating with you this Sunday as we continue in our series, The Gospel of God, and study Romans 15:1-13.
WORSHIP PASTOR SEARCH
In this season, we continue to seek God's plan for us and our next Worship Pastor. Thank you to all of the volunteers that have stepped up and shared their time, talents and gifts with us leading worship! This Sunday we will welcome Chris Herrington and his family to our campus as he enters into the next step of this search process. Chris will have the opportunity to meet our elders, staff and worship team and then lead us in worship on Sunday. In this next step, please be praying for him and his family, the worship search team and for God's wisdom and direction. If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to email the Worship Search Team.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY VOLUNTEERS
It’s been wonderful to see so many happy faces back in our nursery - preschool areas! Now that our families are coming back to in person church, we are looking to add to our team to accommodate Northwest’s littlest members. Have you ever sighed and thought, there’s just nothing like holding a baby!? You’re perfect for nursery! Do you get super excited about snacks? Guess what? So do our toddlers! If rocking a baby, sharing goldfish and conversation with two year olds, or helping little ones to learn about God’s love for them sounds like something you’d be interested in, please contact our Preschool Director, Ricki Allen and she’ll help you get connected.
ONLINE MODERATOR VOLUNTEER
Are you joining us from home in this season? Do you notice all of the comments that are shared in the chat by Northwest Bible Church? We are in need of a volunteer to interact and create that content each Sunday starting at 10:20am. If you would enjoy interacting with folks that are part of our online community, please let us know here.
